Stand up for School Safety in Wisconsin

Dr. Tony Evers, Wisconsin’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, has put together a list of the resources schools need now to ensure that every student is safe and to prevent incidents of violence in our schools.

Our children deserve safe schools and our full investment in ensuring their success.

Please take time today to contact your lawmakers and call on them to take our responsibility seriously in meeting the immediate needs of our schools to provide the resources that matter most to our students. Whether through a Special Session or as part of the current legislative session that has not yet wrapped up, the time is NOW to do the right thing for our students and the public schools at the heart of our communities.
